575. There is an hour of peaceful rest

1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand’rers given;
There is a joy for souls distress'd,
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast--
’Tis found above--in heaven.

2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When toss'd on life’s tempestuous shoals,
When storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear--but heaven.

3 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The ev'ning shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heaven.

4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There joys divine disperse the gloom;
Beyond the confines of the tomb,
Appears the dawn of heaven.
